Jazz for aficionados

Jazz for aficionados

I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.

Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.

The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".

"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.

While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.

Enjoy the music.

Frogman , No, it was a clip of Sonny playing "" A Foggy Day ’"
where his swing home really shown , so natch, I was all in on that .
Can’t find it today .
The thing that years ago that was always bringing me back to Sonny was listening to a conversation and talking back , literally !


"Right , ya man . bring it on , etc etc etc etc etc . " Mingus is the only other jazz guy I talk to .

The Kuna flies on Friday, and on Saturday, The Queen goes out to play.(dance)

should remind her of her teenage years, but humans can't remember that far back in time.

mary_jo, frogman and the rest of the gang I can assure you I am not "pouting" I have been busy working and trying to start up a new business.

I see there has been more drama with the OP again. Can someone fill me in on what's bothering him this time?

Thunder storms lightning and high wind gusts on Long Island today so I am listening to some appropriate music.
